Developing an information management plan.

Developing a good information management plan is a major project, but it can be accomplished by taking small incremental steps and making sure your team stays focused. Several good things will be produced as a result of your hard work. Your patients will ultimately receive better care due to the availability of more timely information. The hospital will gain cost effectiveness when the information is integrated. Society as a whole will benefit from the sharing of unidentifiable patient information through research.
